Private by design

Your codes, your iCloud

WatchBar has no account and no ads. On Apple devices your library syncs through your own private iCloud — on by default, switch it off anytime. On Android it never leaves your phone. Scanning happens on your device. To fix crashes we collect anonymous diagnostics through Firebase Crashlytics, and you can lock any code behind Face ID, Touch ID, or your fingerprint.
